  • Title: Ultra-wide band electromagnetic radiation does not affect UV-induced recombination and mutagenesis in yeast.
    Author: Pakhomova ON, Belt ML, Mathur SP, Lee JC, Akyel Y.
    Journal: Bioelectromagnetics; 1998; 19(2):128-30. PubMed ID: 9492171.
    Abstract:
    Cell samples of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were exposed to 100 J/m2 of 254 nm ultraviolet (UV) radiation followed by a 30 min treatment with ultra-wide band (UWB) electromagnetic pulses. The UWB pulses (101-104 kV/m, 1.0 ns width, 165 ps rise time) were applied at the repetition rates of 0 Hz (sham), 16 Hz, or 600 Hz. The effect of exposures was evaluated from the colony-forming ability of the cells on complete and selective media and the number of aberrant colonies. The experiments established no effect of UWB exposure on the UV-induced reciprocal and non-reciprocal recombination, mutagenesis, or cell survival.
